Radio Talking Book Service (RTBS) is a nonprofit radio station that broadcasts print information across Nebraska and southwest Iowa to blind, low vision, or print impaired listeners. RTBS broadcasts 24 hour programming, 7 days a week over the radio and internet on special radios provided to eligible listeners and care facilities at no cost. RTBS programming alleviates depression and loneliness that accompanies vision loss, empowering our listeners to remain active and engaged in their community.

Be sure to get tickets no later than April 20th.

Funds raised will bring the printed word to life for 10,281 RTBS listeners, ensuring access to current, local print information necessary to lead a self-directed, productive life.
